This is what “too much personality” looks like

They told me I had too much personality to play it safe. So I became a lawyer. I became a public defender in Texas — standing next to people who had no power, no money, and no one else fighting for them. I took on cases others wouldn't touch. I represented Black Lives Matter activists pro bono. And I learned, early on, what it means to stand between everyday people and a system that would rather ignore them. That's who I was long before I ever ran for office. But it's also exactly why I'm running for the United States Senate now. This campaign isn't about climbing a ladder in Washington. It's about bringing the same fight I learned as a public defender — the fight for fairness, dignity, and accountability — to the biggest stage there is. Right now, Texas has politicians who protect the powerful and leave everyone else behind. We deserve a Senator who knows what it means to fight from the outside — and who isn't afraid to take on anyone who abuses their power. I've been underestimated my whole life. I've never let that stop me yet. If you believe Texas deserves a Senator who will stand up, speak plainly, and fight like hell for the people, I'm asking you to split $10, $25, or whatever you can between our campaign and Equality PAC to help us make history in 2026. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split contribution will go through to Jasmine Crockett and Equality PAC immediately.

Democrats are being pummeled

We warned you: Republicans would try to buy 2026. Every State is building the firewall—chip in to flip the House.

Sandeep, this is the email they hoped you'd ignore. WE SAID: Democrats were heading underwater as the right piled up a massive cash advantage. WE SAID: the goals that decide whether turnout programs are fully resourced were slipping. AND WE SAID: if grassroots supporters don't step up early, we get forced into panic mode — and that's how elections get stolen quietly, long before Election Day. Here's the blunt truth: Republicans are not hesitating. They're buying the airwaves, expanding their donor rosters, hiring operatives, and building turnout infrastructure months earlier than Democrats typically do. Every day they move forward while too many people debate, delay, and hope for "perfect conditions" that never come. If this funding gap doesn't close fast, the damage is immediate: Fewer organizers hired, less voter contact, slower response when MAGA unleashes the next wave of disinformation, voter suppression, and billionaire-funded attacks. We need Democrats in every state to step up now. That's why we're making a direct request to the people who understand the stakes in this election: if you can give $10, it matters. If you can give more, it matters. The sooner we fund the work, the stronger our turnout machine becomes.

On Wednesday, February 25 – just two days from now – we will have our final FEC fundraising deadline before our election.  That means our campaign will be legally required to report our fundraising numbers publicly – with less than three weeks to go until polls close. And if you believe as strongly as I do that we need a Senate with a backbone, you likely know what's at stake here: This will be one of the FIRST opportunities of 2026 to set an example for the nation and prove to Donald Trump that we won't let him get away with his cruelty and chaos. This deadline will be the FINAL chance before Election Day to prove the strength of our movement. But unfortunately, we're already pacing a bit short of where we hoped to be.  Right now, we need a MASSIVE surge in donations to prove our strength and put our campaign in a position to win in 22 days. Not everyone reading this email will donate, but I really need YOU, Sandeep, to do what you can now.

With less than a month until Election Day, I wanted to give you an update from the campaign trail. If you’ve tried to reach me lately, there’s a good chance I was in my “mobile office” somewhere between Rockford and Carbondale. I’ve been on the road constantly — driving from town to town, county to county, listening to the people who make this state what it is. Because of my Central Illinois roots, I’ve made it a priority to spend as much time as possible outside of Chicagoland, showing up in every region and hearing directly from the people who call it home. As a son of Peoria, I’ve never forgotten where I come from. I launched this campaign outside the house where I was raised because that community shaped me — and because too often, communities like the one I grew up in get left out of the conversation in Washington. Since then, my team and I have criss-crossed Illinois nonstop — from the Quad Cities to Bloomington, from Peoria to Springfield, from Metro East to Carbondale (Go Salukis!). Just last month alone, I was in East St. Louis, Champaign, Normal, Moline, and Rockford, sitting down face-to-face with folks to hear about the challenges they’re facing and the opportunities they want to see. I’ve walked through manufacturing plants, visited safety-net hospitals, sat down with union workers, teachers, healthcare professionals, small business owners, and community leaders. I’ve listened more than I’ve talked. And everywhere I go in Illinois, I hear the same thing: People want a government that works for everyone — one that’s there for those fighting to make it, not just those who already have it made. That’s what this campaign is about. So in these final weeks, we’re scaling up — putting more organizers on the ground, activating volunteers in every region, expanding our outreach online – to ensure every Illinoisan hears our message. Right now, a shady Super PAC is blanketing the air and spending millions against us, so the best way we can fight back is by having a field team on the ground to talk with voters, hand out literature, and push GOTV efforts. But it’s also incredibly expensive. If you can afford it, will you donate a few dollars to my campaign to supply our on-the-ground team with anything they may need to connect with Illinoisans in every corner of our state?
